The story of Nanna is set against a dazzlingly detailed 13th-century Northern Europe, where all the power is in the hands of a few mighty lords. There are peasants who are freemen, although their freedom is limited, and thralls (slaves) whose life is worth less than cattle. A woman's value lies between that of a slave and an ox. Into this dark, wild, dangerous world a nobleman's daughter is born and becomes an instant orphan due to treacherous murder and arson. An old woman, believed to be a witch, raises the infant, whom she calls Nanna, sharing all her wisdom with her. When Nanna goes into the world, only her wit and uncanny skills at curing ills saves her from being just another slave girl to be used and abused. She discovers love and passion but also cruelty and lives dominated by fear. As she begins to realize the truth of her identity, she sets out to prove it, thereby becoming a serious threat to a powerful and vicious lord. Her ingenuity has kept her alive so far but will she be able to escape his latest trap when only a slave woman and a nobleman's young son stand between her and certain slow and painful death?

The Paradox Of Damian is about love and family...but I'm open for argument. Some will argue that 'The Paradox Of Damian' is about hate. And I understand...after all a lot of people die in this book. If I have to argue, I think that one of my arguments will be for one to study the parables that dom the pages of the great spiritual book called the Bhagavad Gita; a book studied by such as the likes of a Albert Einstein.It was the great Mahatma Ghandi who called the Bhagavad Gita "Spiritual Mother." In essence I believe that the main characters in 'The Paradox Of Damian'kill out of love and not hate. The Paradox Of Damian' touches on politics. My personal opinion is that one's politics doesn't matter. If the underline theme in one's heart isn't about love, then they probably shouldn't read this book...there are many millions more to read. And last but certainly not least, if in this new millennium one is racist, or are offended by gay people, or both, then you probably shouldn't read this book-there are many books out there for you too. Rather one reads this book or not, thanks for reading period. May the Universe always bless you
